HMS Popham

HMS Popham

HMS "Popham" was one of 93 ships of the sclass|Ham|minesweeper|0 of inshore minesweepers.

Their names were all chosen from villages ending in "-ham". The minesweeper was named after Popham in Hampshire.

HMS "Popham" was laid down in 1954 as HMS "Hatterley" at Vospers (the sclass|Ley|minehunter|0 was similar to the Ham, but only 10 ships were built). Following completion she remained in operational reserve at Hythe on Southampton Water until 1956. She was then land-cradled at Rosneath on the Clyde until 1963, and transferred to the Royal Australian Navy on 9 June 1966. She arrived in Sydney as deck cargo onboard the freighter "Gladstone Star" on 3 September 1967. Although she was due to be converted into a diving tender and renamed "Otter" (Y.299), she remained in reserve in a cradle at Garden Island, Sydney. She was listed for disposal on 31 December 1975 and sold on 17 February 1976.
